Theater Arts

Theater Arts at Chabot is dedicated to serving theater students, the campus community
and the community at large. In addition to courses in all the many areas of theater;
Acting, Writing, Directing, Technical Theater, Voice, Movement, History and more,
we offer a wide range of theater productions. Our mainstage theater productions give
students the opportunity to use all the skills they are learning in other courses
and apply them under the guidance of a faculty director.

While study in Theater Arts at Chabot College advance a student’s abilities as a theater
artist, they also contribute to the growth of the whole person. Social consciousness,
connection to self, personal responsibility, collaboration, creativity, problem solving
under stress, critical thinking, are just of a few of the things participation in
theater helps a student develop. Though many of our students go on to further study
in theater as well as becoming professionals in the field, all of our students carry
the lessons and memories they learned from their theater experiences into whatever
they do next.
